Proposals from Heaven

installation with printer, paper, and custom software (Javascript)
Dimensions Variable
Designed as a playful installation, Proposals from Heaven pokes fun at the worlds of digital art and grant-making by generating random proposals that float down from on high. The piece uses a collection of topical and technological buzzwords—gleaned from actual grant proposals—which are randomly selected via Javascript and sent to a laser printer mounted on the ceiling. New proposals are generated about once per minute. Audiences are invited to take one home, and even to submit it with their next application.
